Why is glass brittle

Chemistry
1 answer:
WITCHER [35]4 years ago
6 0
Glass doesn't contain planes of atoms that can slip past each other, so there is no way to relieve stress. It has many microscopic cracks that act as seeds for fracture. It’s molecular structure is composed of tetrahedral crystals so it ruptured easily under stress

What volume of 0.08892 M HNO3 is required to react completetly with 0.2352 g of potassium hydrogen phosphate?
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

0.0303 Liters

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the potassium hydrogen phosphate = 0.2352

Molarity of the HNO₃ Solution = 0.08892 M

Now,

From the reaction it can be observed that 1 mol of potassium hydrogen phosphate reacts with 2 mol of HNO₃

The number of moles of 0.2352 g of potassium hydrogen phosphate

= Mass / Molar mass

also,

Molar mass of potassium hydrogen phosphate

= 2 × (39.09) + 1 + 30.97 + 4 × 16 = 174.15 g / mol

Number of moles = 0.2352 / 174.15 = 0.00135 moles

thus,

The number of moles of HNO₃ required for  0.00135 moles

= 2 ×  0.00135 mol of HNO₃

= 0.0027 mol of HNO₃

Now,

Molarity = Number of Moles / Volume

thus,

for 0.0027 mol of HNO₃, we have

0.08892 = 0.0027 / Volume

or

Volume =  0.0303 Liters
